pidity. Tneahsence of all concealment,
the honesty of purpose manifested by j
those who first inaugurated the enter

the entire surplus is to be applied,
have taken firm hold upon the public

be accompanied by a present at the

A POETIC JOKE. —We are not much
i given to "poking fun" at a discomfited
enemy. We are tot) good-natured for
, that. But it is not said that our cor- j
respondents should not have their way j
in this respect. Hence we print the j
following contributed by a friend :
The following lines are respectfully inscribed
; byway of comfort, to the woolly-p.irty and their
; immortal chieftian :
Upon the woollies let us run the rig.
As they so lov'd and worshipped "The Nig."
j The woollies in a mighty passion flew,
When Pennsylvania loft the wretched crew.
Upon King Thaddy let us crack a j ike,
for soon his nigger reign shall end in smoke.
; Good Thaddy rag'd ouiright. and ripp'd and tore, .
When this our gallant Keystone had gone o'er.
Once '1 haddy prophesied* and did no> ii.e;
So Caiphas furetoldf that Christ would die.
Now let the woollies move to Afric's sands,
Where one and all with Thaddy can get lauds,
i Yes, let them forth unto Dahomyl go—
He'll teach them how the niggers' blood can flow,
i Dear Thaddy, now with one leg ill the grave,
Put in the other, and thy country save.
*Thad declared bef-re theelecti'u, that l'enn
; sylvania would go over to the Democrats.
t"Now Caiphas was he who had given the coun
i sel that one should die." John, 18th ch.

whole hecatombs of his black subjects to appease

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.— On
Wednesday evening lust, a bold and
dastardly attempt was made to assas
sinate Henry Miller, a young lad aged
sixteen years, and son of Jacob M. Mil
ler, Esq. He was sitting by the lire
in the front room <G" his father's resi
dence, on west Pittsburg street, when
some person unknown entered the hail, i
and opening the door leading to where
the young man was sitting, fired a pis
tol shot at ball entering the
mantlepiece and burying itself beyond
sight, alter which he made his escape
undetected. No one is suspected of the j
outrage, nor will the villain ever, it is
feared, he known.— Greensburg Ar - j
gus.
—The Indiana Democrat says that dnr- '
ing three days last week the merchants
of that town sold about 12,000 yards of
calico. They undertook to undersell
each other and the people went into the

selves with Merrimacks, Manehesters, >
Wainsettas, &c., at from 8 to 12 cents
per yard. The madder the merchants '
became the more "madders" the peo- 1
pie bought. Calico contests ought to'
he encouraged.

or THE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD,
Running Wtn From Omukm
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARK NOW COMPLETED.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company hav
| built a longer line of railroad in the last eighteen
months than was ever built by any other eompa
| ny in the same time, and they will continue the
! work with the same energy until it is completed.
• The Western Division is being pushed rapidly
J eastward from Sacrameuto by the Central Pacific
j Company of California, and it is expected that
THE ENTIRE GRAND LINE
j to the Pacific will be open for business in 1870.
| More than one-third of the wort has already been.
| done, more than one-third of the whole line i* now
j in running order. and more laborers art vow em
| ployed upon it than ever before. More than
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY
i have already been expended by the two power*
| ful companies that have undertaken the enter
prise. aud there is no lack of funds for its most
I vigorous prosecution. When the United St ties
! Government found it necessary to secure toe con
struction of the Union Pacific Railroad, to develop
j and protect its own interests, it gave the Coinpa
; nies authorized to build it such ample aid as
: should rentier its speedy coinplotion beyond a
| doubt. The available means of the Union Pacific
j Railroad Company, derived from the Government
and its own stockholders, may be briefly summed
; up as follows :
I—UNITED STATES BONDS
Having thirty years to run and bearing six per
! cent, currency interest at the rate of $16,000 per
I mile for 517 miles on the Plains; then at the rate
jof SIB,OOO per mile for 150 miles through the
j Rocky Mountains; thence ut the rate of $52,000
J per mile for the remaining distance, for which the
! United States takes a second lien as security The
I interest on these bonds is paid by the United
j States government, which also pays the company
j one-half the amount of its bills in money for trnus
j porting its freight, troops, mails, Ac. The re
! maining half of those bills is placed to the com
pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which
may finally discharge the whole amount of this
lien. The claims against the government siuce
April of the current year amount to four and one
half times this interest.
2 —FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
By its charter the Company is permitted to is
sue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the saute
amount as the bonds issued by the government,
and no more, and only as the roudprogresses. 1 he
Trustees for the boudhold-rs are the Hon. E. D.
Morgan, U. S. Senator from New York, and the
Hon Oakes Ames, Member of the U. S. House of
Representatives, who are responsible for the de
livery of these bonds to the Company in strict ac
cordance with the terms of the law.
3.—THE LAND GRANT.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a
land grant or absolute donation from the govern
I ment of 12.800 acres to the mile on the line of the
road, which will not be worth less than $1.5.1 per
acre at the lowest valuation.
4.—THE CAPITAL STOCK.
.
) Tho authorized capital of the Union Pacific
j Railroad Company is $100,000,000, of which over
$5,000,000,000 have been paid on the work already
| done.
THE MEANS SUFFICIENT TO BUILD THE
ROAD.
Contracts for the entire work of the building
j 914 miles of first-class railroad west from Omaha,
comprising much of the most difficult mountain
i work, and embracing every expenses except sur
| veying, have been made with responsible par
I ties (who have already finished over 500 miles),
1 at the average rate of sixty-eight thousand aud
j fifty-eight dollars V SSB,OSB) per mile. This price
| includes all necessary shops for construction and
• repairs of cars, depots, stations and all other in
! cidental buildings, and also locomotives, passen
j ger, baggage, and freight cars, and other requisite
I rolling stock, to an amount tba shall not be less
than so,ooo per mile. Allowing the cost of the
remaining one hundred aud eighty-six of tho
i eleven hundred miles assumed to be built by the
I Pacific Company to be $90,000 per mile.
THE TOTAL COST OF ELEVEN HUNDRED
MILES WILL BE AS FOLLOWS :
914 miles, at $68,058 $62,205,012
j 186 miles at $90.000 16.740,000
Add discounts on bonds, surveys, Ac... .4 500.000
Amount $-.3,415,012
As the U. S. Bonds are equal to money, and the
Company's own First Mortgage Bonds have a
ready market, ive have as the
I AVAILABLE CASH RESOURCES FOR
BUILDING ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES:
I U. S Bonds $29,328,000
' First Mortgage Bonds 29,328,000
1 Capital stock paid in on the work now
done 5,369 750
Land Grant, 14,080,000 acres, at $1,50
per acre 21,120,000
Total $85,145,750
The company have ample facilities for supply
ing any deficiency that may arise in means for
! construction. This may be done wholly or in
j part by additional subscriptions to capital stock,
i Active inquiry has already been made for a
t ! portion of these landa. and arrangements are now
1 ! pioposed to offer a part of them h>r sale. While
i their whole v-lue will not be available for some
I i years to come, they will remain a very important
; ! source of revenue to the Company. The lands of
1 the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel
! ling at from $6 to sl2 per acre, and other land
grant companies in the West are receiving equal
prices for similar properties.
FUTURE BUSINESS.
The most skeptical have never expressed a
